For phonics today please read each sentence first. After reading go back and circle the blends that you see (sk, st, pl, sw, br,...) then go through and circle the suffixes (endings like ed, s, er,...).
Please make sure you answer the Comprehension Check questions with a complete sentence that makes sense and neat printing! (Ex. Dad got the bug out of mom's mug.)

Today is the first day of a Fill in the Blank story. Read the words in the Word Bank first. Then read each sentence filling in the blank with the words from the bank. Remember to ask yourself "Does it make sense?"

For phonics today please read through the short story. After reading it through, go back and circle all the short vowel sounds you hear in the words (dog, dig, run, pet). I would suggest choosing a different colour marker for each short vowel sound and circling the sounds you find in the story with the colour to match. This will make recording the words easier at the end.

On your Joanne Moore sheet today you will learn that when there is a "Y" at the end of a word it can make the "i" or the "ee" sound. For example in the word "funny" the "Y" says "ee" but in the word "cry" the "Y" says "i". You could do a word hunt in a book to find more words that belong to each group.
